Pros

I get to sell a best in class product, almost all reps/managers are friendly and highly talented, and the office culture is fun (managers plan cool events and the spiffs are always worth competing for). Free food and snacks in office.

Cons

Reckless and chaotic turnover rate (includes all roles); one of the lowest AE salaries across the tech industry; impossible/unattainable quotas in most sales territories; no consideration, discretion or adjustments given to the inequities in sales territories (quotas are the same across the board, no matter what); aggressive territory splits (including in the poor performing geographies); channel partners don't respect the org (mainly due to the turnover); and we have a culture of intense micro management.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
